In this episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, Dr. Steve Thayer and Dr. Reid Robison are joined by returning guest, Vhari Macbeth to discuss psycholytic ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).
We are pleased to announce that our wholly owned subsidiary, Cedar Clinical Research has been selected as a research site for a clinical trial sponsored by Karuna Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage neuroscience biopharmaceutical company
The phase III study will evaluate the investigational therapy KarXT for the treatment of schizophrenia, a serious and potentially disabling condition affecting approximately 20 million people worldwide.
Dr. Reid Robison, Novamind’s Chief Medical Officer and Principal Investigator at CCR said, “We need more innovation in this field and I’m hopeful to see compounds like KarXT that have new ways of acting on the brain and the potential for improved efficacy and side effect profiles.”
As psychedelics continue to break free from the stigma surrounding them, more and more people are seeing the promise these drugs have in changing the way we treat mental health. “Recent trials are showing that psychedelics are proving not only successful but also incredibly effective when stacked up against traditional forms of treatment, with one recent trial reporting that they are up to four times more effective than antidepressants.”
In a big step forward for psychedelic research, the DEA is set to increase limits for psilocybin. From the DEA: “DEA firmly believes in supporting regulated research of schedule I controlled substances.” We look forward to increased research and have a dedicated psychedelic contract research organization (CRO) in Cedar Clinical Research, capable of studying promising new treatments.

Fabled Silver Gold (FCO TSXV) ( FBSGF: OTC ) controls 100% of the Santa Maria mine gold and silver property in Mexico.
It is a high grade silver gold property that is situated right in the middle of the Mexican Epithermal silver gold belt that has reportedly produced more silver than any other equivalent area in the entire planet.
To say it’s a mining friendly jurisdiction is an understatement.
Multiple major operators are in the vicinity and Santa Maria already has a silver equivalent 43-101 of 3.2m ounces, but is adding to that not only in tonnage, but in grade. High grade; and that only improves a future 43-101.
High grade mines pay back Capital costs faster, making them economic and profitable.
Check out these intercepts from the last 4 press releases that include not only high grade silver but a new gold discovery as well:
Aug 17: New Gold System, Hits Lower Feeder, which Returns 580.01 g/t Silver Eq, PLUS 19.90% Lead, 5.18% Zinc and 1.29% Copper
Aug 23rd: Intercepts Gold Bearing Sheeted Vein Structure Over A True Width of 150 Meters
Sept 1st: New High Grade Vein Breccia Outside Santa Maria Structure Boundaries, with Grades High As 1,072.73 g/t Ag Eq and..
Sept: 8th: Fabled Hits Supergene Quartz Breccia Over 1.35 Meters Grading 689.56 g/t Ag Eq
Fabled is intent on proving Santa Maria is bigger and of potentially higher grade than the market understands, and is well on its way. Grade is king an the mines with the best grade get developed first.
Santa Maria is already a proven past producer, the development progress made by Fabled is only increasing the potential re-development, but with potential better economics. Sit back and enjoy as Peter Hawley President & CEO explains the importance of how high grade intercepts improve a mines chance of being developed.

BBC Future covers the experience, culture and future of psychedelics and “what might follow if psychedelics become mainstream.” It’s a popular theme in this week’s roundup: what the world will look like after the psychedelic revolution. “Psychedelics offer something that few other things can: an experience well beyond what our everyday reality could conceive or expect.” With such life changing drugs and therapies becoming available, there’s no doubt the future will look a lot different.
This article delivers more positive news about ketamine and esketamine, which we currently use in our Cedar Psychiatry clinics. Learn more about how we use these powerful drugs here. “Use of ketamine and esketamine for their antidepressant effects does not seem to have harmful neurocognitive effects in individuals with treatment-resistant depression, according to a review published online Aug. 5 in the Harvard Review of Psychiatry.”
Rick Doblin and Jennifer Ouyang Altman lay out the potential risks of not having standardized psychedelic education for providers. It’s a problem that will arise as psychedelics continue to move into the mainstream. It’s one reason why education is such a big component of our mission to increase access to psychedelic medicine. On the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we cover topics across the spectrum from trip-sitting to treating trauma with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Another way we’re helping address this issue is by creating psychedelic treatment protocols, sharing best-in-class techniques and procedures with the wider population. Learn more here.

TSX listed Candente Copper owns Canariaco Norte, a large, economic copper deposit in Peru that continues to advance technically and economically.
Cañariaco is a 100% owned feasibility-stage porphyry copper deposit containing 7.5B pounds Measured and Indicated and can be mined for 22 years once in production. Oh, and Canariaco Norte is in the lowest quartile of production costs for projects waiting to be developed at around 0.98c per pound of copper. If that doesn’t have your attention, Goldman Sachs has it ranked as one of the top 80 projects waiting to be developed worldwide.
This is a deposit itching to become a mine and Candente continues to advance the project forward with studies evaluating various methodologies to reduce CAPEX with multiple scenarios that support developing Canariaco closer to a production scenario.
With the price of copper firmly above $4 dollars, the economics supporting Canariaco going into production only gets stronger.
Watch this great interview with Candente CEO Joanne Freeze as she explains how Candente can accelerate the development of Canariaco through the various studies that support a production scenario.

Fabled Silver Gold (TSXV:FCO ) (OTCQB: FBSGF) controls 100% of the Santa Maria mine gold and silver property in Mexico. It is a high grade silver gold property that is situated right in the middle of the Mexican Epithermal silver gold belt that has reportedly produced more silver than any other equivalent area in the entire planet.
To say it’s a mining friendly jurisdiction is an understatement.
Multiple major operators are in the vicinity and it’s already got a silver equivalent 43-101 of 3.2m ounces, but is looking to add to that significantly with recent intercepts of 2269 g/t silver.
That is not a typo, in other words it is also 2.269 kilos AgEq or 72 troy ounce. Just recently, Fabled encountered a new, previously unknown gold zone with the discovery of a high grade gold system with values up 10.85 g/t Au within 30.7m grading 161.09 Ag Eq, and the latest assays show 22 g/t gold in a discovery that increases the mineralization beyond known areas, and is open in all directions. Fabled is moving from high grade silver into a more gold rich environment that includes silver
This quote from Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President describes the discovery:
……“ ‘As a result of discovering this new gold domain system, and ongoing interpretation of structural controls, assays results to date, and visual examination of recently drilled holes we have immediately expanded the present drilling by 5,000 meters, to a total of 14,200 meters. This will ensure that we have significant meterage to properly evaluate this gold discovery.’……..” we continue to define a new, never discovered high grade gold mineral domain system, with silver credits, over consistent widths in an area never explored, and which remains open to the west and at depth, plunging 45 degrees to the west and open in all directions for expansion.
Fabled is intent on proving Santa Maria is bigger and of potentially higher grade than the market understands and is well on its way as the deposit appears to be developing at depth into a dominant high grade gold system.
Sit back and enjoy as Peter Hawley President & CEO explains the importance of increasing the drill program beyond 14,000m and how expanding exploration will continue to yield discoveries.

Durango Resources (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTCQB -ATOXF) is an exploration company in search of a gold discovery in Quebec.
Durango’s land in the Camp demonstrates a high probability of having gold in the ground. The Trove and East Barry properties have seen multiple methods of exploration helping to guide and pinpoint areas that require drilling for gold. Durango has been guided expertly by both management, its technical team and its peers for the discoveries previously made in the Windfall camp.
Osisko dominates the land position and are responsible for the discovery of the Windfall deposit, which has expanded into a resource of 1.2 million ounces of high-grade gold and helped to create a new gold camp in Canada. Their deposit is world-class scale and Osisko shows no sign of slowing down exploration anywhere on their sizeable land position. They continue to encounter significant mineralization through drilling and used 19 drills in 2020, surrounding Durango with over 2.8 million ounces of gold.
Durango may be in the shadows of a larger entity, but that doesn’t make their properties any less valuable. Durango doesn’t need to be bigger to be better. The Trove and East Barry properties show high probability of having gold in multiple areas, the Discovery property has permits for 15 exploration drillholes and received drill permits for its wholly-owned NMX East Property located near Nemaska, Québec.
Durango is backed by a regionally experienced technical staff that have made their own discoveries in Quebec, and management that have purposely supported the company for this strategic land to have its moment. Durango aims to prove that bigger isn’t always better, and that small cap exploration companies can make market grabbing discoveries. 2021 is the year Durango makes a discovery of their own in Quebec, aligning them with Bonterra, Osisko and Troilus for the markets attention.
Here are the 3 things you need to know
1. Drilling at East Barry Returned Silver and Gold in Granite
The East Barry Property is located south of Windfall Lake and adjoins both Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX-OSK) and Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-BTR) in the Abitibi Greenstone belt which to date has produced over 200M ounces of gold. Durango wholly owns the 7,740-hectare East Barry Property which runs parallel to its wholly owned Trove Property at Windfall Lake, Québec.
The East Barry Property hosts a crosscutting fault system striking towards Windfall Lake lending the project great discovery potential.
The purpose of the initial East Barry drill campaign was to gain an understanding of the geology in the area and to identify the structure, dip, and fertility of the rock. The outcrop on the East Barry Property is limited and virtually no historical exploration has occurred on the property prior to the recent work completed by Durango. To date, knowledge of the area has been based solely on the geophysical surveys and till sampling completed by Durango.
Previous till surveys identified a gold trend of up to 10 km with gold assays reaching up to 2.19 g/t Au
Durango’s exploratory drill holes were conducted as an initial step to help identify a prospective target for the source of the gold in the till, given the limited outcrop at surface.
2. Wholly Owned Discovery Property
Durango owns 100% interest in the Discovery claims, which are adjacent Osisko Mining Inc. and are 60km away from Troilus Gold Inc.’s past producing mine. located on strike to the southwest of the past producing Troilus Gold mine owned by Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX-TLG) and neighbours UrbanGold Minerals Inc. (TSXV-UGM).
Durango’s technical team has prepared tentative summer exploration plan for the Discovery Property.
The 6,700-hectare project is geologically compelling and Durango has permits for 15 exploration drill holes. Prior exploration sampled 7.6 and 6.2 g/t gold surface samples previously obtained on the Discovery property. Durango’s exploration team plans to visit the Discovery Property in 2021.
The Company will provide more details and timing on the Discovery Property visit as they become available.
3. Technical Committee and Management Support
You can’t make a discovery without people and know how to do it. The Windfall Camp has proven there is a tremendous amount of gold buried in the ground, with lots more to be found. Gold, however, doesn’t find itself. For that you need the people and know how to understand where to start looking before committing hard earned shareholder capital on expensive, sometimes, failed drill campaigns.
This is where Dale Ginn gets to help guide Durango. An experienced mining executive and geologist for over 30 years participated in numerous gold and base metal discoveries, many of which are in production today, including the Gladiator Deposit by Bonterra in the Windfall Camp. Dale has the prerequisite experience to coordinate and define an exploration program leading up to a discovery. He has done it before and may accomplish again with Durango.
Lastly, shareholders are thankful to have Marcy Kiesman at the helm of Durango. Ms. Kiesman has routinely supported the company and owns close to 16%. Ms. Kiesman is one of the leading ladies in the exploration business today and has put together an all-female management team positioning Durango toward Discovery, including the recent announcement of Ms. Joanna Cameron to its board of directors.

Xali Gold ( XGC:TSXV ) has assembled a Western Mexico project portfolio of gold assets and have developed a strategy for organic growth to exploit its Flagship Gold Project El Oro, a prolific high-grade gold-silver epithermal vein system.
Xali has acquired gold and silver projects with near surface exploration potential & near-term production potential:
El Dorado Gold-Silver Project:
Rights to the El Dorado gold and silver historic mines was the initial step in this strategy, providing Xali the right to explore and produce gold, silver and other metals for life of mine.
Cocula Gold Project: profit-sharing agreement
Near term, low cost production potential by leaching and/or flotation
Retain 70% of profits
Recent drill targets Identified
Acquisition of the “SDA” Plant:
The SDA Mill is a fully operational flotation plant which also includes a precious metals leach circuit – Merrill Crowe system and associated assets, licenses and agreements, suitable for treating high grade gold and silver mineralization.
These assets are being positioned to create cash flow to develop Flagship El Oro Gold District where the primary focus is the past producing San Rafael Vein; 2.4km strike of high-grade Epithermal veins.
The project covers 20 veins with past production and more than 57 veins in total and approximately 6.4 million ounces of gold and 74 million ounces of silver were reported to have been produced from just two of these veins. Historical Average grades: 10-12 g/t gold & 120-160 g/t silver
Xali has identified 31 exploration targets
Flooding in one section of the San Rafael vein in 1929 resulted in the other two sections flooding and work ceasing abruptly and unexpectedly. El Oro was not mined out. The financial benefits from Western Mexico operations will translate across platforms to strengthen the Company’s efforts to explore and potentially mine areas demonstrated to contain mineralization of value
